The experts from EC and UK proposed minor corrections to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/15 that GRPE adopted as reproduced in Annex VI. GRPE also adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/17.

10. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/18 aimed at modifying the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement in UN Regulation No. 83. The Chair of GRPE requested clearer provisions to align with the work performed under the IWG on WLTP. The Expert from OICA presented informal document GRPE-77-31 amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/18. GRPE adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex VII.
